Not taking a break for the holidays, Epic Games has released a new week of challenges for Fortnite. It is Week 8 in Chapter 2, and players have been tasked to complete swimming time trials at two separate locations on the Fortnite map.
Its been 8 weeks since the black hole dropped Fortnite Chapter 2 Season 1 on players with an all new map featuring locations like Lazy Lake, Hydro 16, and Misty Meadows. But finding the exact location of the time trials can be a little tricky. Luckily this week's challenge is a bit more unique than the previous ones in Fortnite, and is bound to give players something enjoyable to do.
Lazy Lake
When looking for the challenge locations at both Lazy Lake and Hydro 16, players should keep an eye out for floating clocks. This is where they can commence the time trial.
The first swimming time trial is located just west of Lazy Lake. Fortnite players can commence their time trial at the floating clock beside the river that flows through the area. But Fortnite fans be warned, for there are distractions like fishing in the area that could serve to hinder the discipline needed to finish second time trial.
East of Hydro 16
For players that have escaped the temptations of fishing at Lazy Lake, their next location is to be found in the lake between Misty Meadows and Slurpy Swamp. If players happen to see a Stormtrooper or John Wick while making their way there, they should remind themselves to keep their eyes on the prize.
Once there, players just need to find the floating clock and they can complete the swimming trials.
And that's pretty much all there is to completing this latest Fortnite challenge. The challenge of course will really come down to players making sure they can swim at top speeds, so finding the swimming time trial locations is really just half the battle for fans of the battle royale game.
Fortnite is free-to-play on Mobile, PC, PS4, Switch, and Xbox One.
